    You can have Linux without systemd. Though I’m not sure what systemd does that would be similar to how Windows tell you what’s going to happen.

          It’s not a big thing with feature creep. systemd-boot is a different project from systemd the service manager. It would be like saying GNU has feature creep because of coreutils, GNU Hurd, Autoconf, GnuCash, Stow… They’re different projects under the same banner.
